HAST THOU, then, ever considered him who turns away [from remembering Us, and cares for no more than the life of this world,] 33 who gave a little, and then stopped? 34 Hath he knowledge of the Unseen so that he seeth? 35 Has he not been made acquainted with what was written in the scriptures of Moses? 36 And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations] - 37 That no laden one shall bear another's load, 38 That man can have nothing but what he strives for; 39 He will certainly see the result of his labor 40 then, he shall be recompensed for it in full repayment 41 That to thy Lord is the final Goal; 42 And that He it is who maketh laugh, and maketh weep, 43 It is He who causes death and gives life. 44 And that it is He Who has created the two pairs, male and female? 45 of a sperm-drop, when it was cast forth, 46 And that upon Him (Allah) is another bringing forth (Resurrection); 47 and that it is He who gives riches and causes to hoard, 48 and that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius, 49 And that He destroyed the former (tribe of) A'ad, 50 And Thamud (people). He spared none of them. 51 and that He it is Who destroyed the people of Noah before for they were much given to iniquity and transgression. 52 And He destroyed the Overthrown Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah). 53 and then covered them from sight forever. 54 Then which of thy Lord's bounties disputest thou? 55 This [Prophet] is a warner like the former warners. 56 The approaching event has come near. 57 None but God can avert it. 58 Do you, perchance, find this tiding strange? 59 And keep laughing and do not weep, 60 and divert yourselves all the while? 61 So make obeisance to Allah and serve (Him). ۩ 62
